Text Input Controls

In recent articles in the WPF tutorial we've examined some controls that permit the user to enter text. These were the TextBox, PasswordBox and RichTextBox controls. The TextBox control is useful for accepting small amounts of plain text. PasswordBox is ideal for passwords and other secure data. The RichTextBox control allows for much more complex text, including entire documents, with formatting and inserted images.

In the following articles we'll examine the newly added base class, TextBoxBase. As with earlier articles, the examination of this class will not be exhaustive. We'll concentrate on the more commonly used members of the type.
